Who was this woman? It's driving me potty.

I saw her at Stansted airport a couple of weeks ago, so no idea what area of the Uk she lives, but I'm pretty sure she's English.

I recognise her from the telly. Probably around 60. Slim. Nice looking. Not a huge household name but definitely recognisable. Auburn hair, collar/shoulder length. It might have been dyed, but I feel she's probably a natural redhead. A bit freckly.

I think she's maybe been in some long running show like Emmerdale or Holby or something like that. But equally she could be a presenter. It's really bugging me that I can't place her.

Amanda Mealing?

I was going to suggest this name also

BashfulClam · 27/07/2024 16:33

Are you sure she is on tv? We walked past a woman in a small town and my husband said ‘Is she in ‘soap opera’ I recognise her?’ I said ‘she’s in our wedding photos, she married us!’

HerculesMulligan · 27/07/2024 16:34

Amanda Burton?

No, but she does look fairly similar in type.

😂I've been wracking my brain to think if it's just someone I know from something else entirely, but she didn't seem to know me, even though we spoke very briefly, so I'm guessing not.

Rula Lenska? Older than 60, though.

Does she work at your GP's? That'd explain the medical link and why you know her but she doesn't know you.

Is anyone else googling first to check the people they're suggesting are actually still alive? 😐

Sorry I have re-read OP and actually (sorry Beverley) she isn’t quite ticking all those boxes.
